Blending history, mystery and the supernatural, AWAKEN is a gripping thriller spanning two lifetimes 

In 2023, Sarah Reynolds, a medium and palliative care nurse, is called to care for the dying Henry Husk by his daughter, Liz.  Long-buried memories begin to surface, revealing a shocking connection to the witch persecutions of 1653.

When Husk dies under mysterious circumstances, Sarah finds herself accused of his murder. As the trial unfolds, two lifetimes collide, exposing the truth behind those branded as witches and the people who condemned them.

AWAKEN shines a light on working-class women and the almost erased world of cunning folk healers.  Partially written in canting – the lost language that predates Cockney, it reclaims the wisdom, healing and magic of the women whom history branded as witches.

AWAKEN contains references to sexual violence, abortion and witch persecution. Recommended for audiences aged 14+.
